RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Hello my name is Trevor and I live in Luton. I just bought an Heng Long Tiger 1. This is my first RC tank. I've been inspired by a former work colleague, who has numerous RC tanks. Looking forward to reading posts for more inspiration, help and advice. Merry Christmas to you all.

Hello and welcome to the forum Trevor nice first tank to start off with, plenty of upgrades available for the tiger and pretty roomy inside for when the hobby takes a grip and you want to change everything on it Merry Christmas to you also

Cheers, Lee.

Welcome, and Merry Christmas, Trevor.

Easily the most popular first Tank in our hobby and for good reason, It is very good value for money especially with Heng Longs latest Version 6.0 control board and more upgrades available for it than for any other 1/16 r/c Tank,

Yet another unsung British motor manufacturer.Who once was British owned then American and now French.
And they make Vans in Luton now, the cars come from Hailwood Merseyside and the Bedford truck has long gone,
